Starring Eric Gilliom
“Coconuts donʻt fall from the tree!”
“Based on the foundation of a multigenerational family tribute, White Hawaiian embraces a dizzying array of comedic caricatures, Chaplinesque slapstick, moving drama, multiple hit musical highlights and non-stop laugh-out-loud moments, along with some Hawaiian cultural history. All wrapped up with a knockout performance by its star.”
—Maui News
This smart and witty one-man show debuted at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center in late 2019 to rave reviews and three sell-out runs. We are so happy to bring the White Hawaiian to the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei for a three-month residency starting July 2022.

An entertaining autobiographical stage-show that covers the career of Eric Gilliom, his Maui upbringing as a Caucasian with Hawaiian roots and the TV, film, and Broadway roles that have given him hilarious stories to share.
Furiously donning outlandish wigs with gaudy costumes, the story unfolds from his great grandparent’s to his grandparent’s on down to his parents then seamlessly into growing up with his six-time Grammy nominated sister, Amy Hānaialiʻi Gilliom.
The reliving of his career, highlights and follies, make the full circle story even more rich and entertaining.
“If they ever invented a Hōkū for musical theater, Gilliom would win it hands down.”
